TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel benzylsulfide derivative, a process for its production and a pesticide containing it as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

Heretofore, it has been reported, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,307 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 122261/1979 and No. 45452/1981 that benzohydrazonophenylsulfide derivatives are useful as insecticides. However, the benzylsulfide derivative of the present invention has not been known.

In recent years, some of conventional commercial insecticides have been restricted in their use in view of problems such as the residual effects, accumulation or environmental pollution, and some have become not so effective as the pests have acquired resistance during their use for a long period of time. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a new insecticide which is highly effective at a low dose and which is excellent in safety.

The present inventors have synthesized various benzylsulfide derivatives and have studied their physiological activities. As a result, it has been found that the compound of the present invention exhibits outstanding pesticidal activities against various pests, particularly against agricultural and horticultural pests including lepidopteran injurious insects represented by diamond back (Plutella xylostella), Asiatic rice borer (Chio suppressalis) and beat armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), hemipteran injurious insects represented by brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), green rice leafhopper (Nephotetlix cincticeps) and cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) and elytron injurious insects represented by adzuki bean weevil (Callosobrunchus chinensis). The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this discovery.

When the compound of the present invention is to be used as the active component of a pesticide, it may be used by itself. However, it can be formulated into various formulations such as an emulsifiable concentrate, a suspension, a dust, a granule, a tablet, a wettable powder, a water-soluble concentrate, a solution, a flowable suspension, a water dispersible granule, an aerosol, a paste, an oil formulation, a concentrated emulsion in water in combination with various carriers, surfactants and other adjuvants which are commonly used for formulation as agricultural adjuvants. They are blended usually in such proportions that the active ingredient is from 0.1 to 90 parts by weight and the agricultural adjuvants are from 10 to 99.9 parts by weight.

The carriers to be used for such formulation may be classified into solid carriers and liquid carriers. The solid carriers include, for example, animal and plant powders such as starch, active carbon, soybean powder, wheat powder, wood powder, fish powder and powdered milk, and mineral powders such as talc, kaolin, bentonite, calcium carbonate, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, fine silica powder, clay and alumina. The liquid carries include, for example, water, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol and ethylene glycol, ketones such as cyclohexanone and methyl ethyl ketone, ethers such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as kerosene and light oil, aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylene, trimethylbenzene, tetramethylbenzene, methylnaphthalene and solvent naphtha, halogenated hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, acid amides such as dimethylacetamide, esters such as glycerin esters of fatty acids, nitriles such as acetonitrile, and sulfur-containing compounds such as dimethylsulfoxide.

The surfactants include, for example, metal salts of alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, metal salts of dinaphthylmethanedisulfonic acid, alcohol sulfuric acid esters, alkylarylsulfonates, lignin sulfonates, polyoxyethylene glycol ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ethers and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoalkylates.

Others adjuvants include, for example, an adhesive or thickener such as carboxymethylcellulose, gum arabic, sodium arignate, guar gum, tragacanth gum or polyvinyl alcohol, an antifoaming agent such as metal soap, a physical property-improving agent such as a fatty acid, an alkyl phosphate, silicone or paraffin, and a coloring agent.

When these formulations are to be practically used, they may be used as they are or as diluted with a diluting agent such as water to a predetermined concentration. Various formulations containing the compounds of the present invention or their diluted solutions may be applied by conventional methods i.e. application methods (such as spraying, misting, atomizing, dusting, granule application, paddy water application or seeding box treatment), soil treatment (such as mixing or drenching), surface application (such as painting, dressing or covering), dipping or poison bait. Further, the above active component may be fed as mixed in feeds to domestic animals, so that infestation or growth of pests, particularly injurious insects can be prevented by the excrements. Otherwise, it can also be applied by a so-called super high concentration low volume application method, whereby the active component may be contained up to 100%.

The pesticide of the present invention is applied usually in a concentration of the active ingredient of from 0.1 to 50,000 ppm, preferably from 1 to 10,000 ppm.

The concentration of the active ingredient can be suitably changed depending upon the type of the formulation, the method, the purpose, the season or the site of application and the state of infestation of pests. For example, in the case of aquatic pests, they can be controlled by applying a formulation having a concentration within the above mentioned range to the infested site, and therefore, the range of the active ingredient in water is lower than the above range. The dose per unit area is usually from 0.1 to 5,000 g, preferably from 1 to 1,000 g, per 1 ha of the active compound. However, the dose is not limited to such a specific range.

The compound of the present invention is sufficiently effective when used alone. However, as a case requires, it may be used in combination or in admixture with fertilizers or other agricultural chemicals such as insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, antivirus agents, attractants, herbicides or plant growth regulants, and further improved effects may sometimes be obtained by such combined use.

TEST EXAMPLE 1

Insecticidal test for diamondback moth

The wettable powder prepared according to Formulation Example 2 was diluted with water so that the concentration of the active ingredient was 500 ppm. Cabbage leaves were immersed in the resulting diluted solution, dried in air and then placed in a polyvinyl chloride cup. Ten larvae of diamondback moth were released in the cup, and thereafter a cover was placed thereon. Then, the cup was placed in a thermostatic chamber of 25° C. for 6 days, and the number of insects died was counted to calculate the mortality (%) according to a calculation formula (A). The results are shown in Table 36. The test was carried out in two series. ##EQU1##

TEST EXAMPLE 2

Insecticidal test for brown rice planthopper

The wettable powder prepared according to Formulation Example 2 was diluted with water so that the concentration of the active ingredient was 500 ppm. In the resulting diluted wettable powder were immersed rice stems and leaves, which were then dried in air and placed in a test tube. In the test tube were released 5 larvae of brown rice planthopper, and then the opening of the test tube was plugged with absorbent wadding. Thereafter, the test tube was placed in a thermostatic chamber of 25° C. for 6 days, and then the number of insects died was counted to calculate the mortality (%) according to the calculation formula (A). The test was carried out in two series. The results are shown in Table 37.

TEST EXAMPLE 3

Insecticidal test for adzuki bean weevil

The wettable powder prepared according to Formulation Example 2 was diluted with water to a concentration of 100 ppm. 0.75 ml of this diluted solution was dropped on a filter paper having diameter of 6 cm placed in a polyvinyl chloride cup having a capacity of 60 ml. Five female adults of adzuki bean weevil were released in the cup, and a cover was placed thereon. Then, the cup was placed in a thermostatic chamber of 25° C. for 4 days, and the number of insects died was counted to calculate the mortality (%) according to calculation formula (A). The test was carried out in two series. The results are shown in Table 38.
